For the Eighth Consecutive Year, Amazon Ranks #1 in Customer Satisfaction During the Holiday Shopping Season

(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced that for the eighth consecutive
year, the company ranks #1 in customer satisfaction during the holiday
shopping season according to the ForeSee annual Holiday E-Retail
Satisfaction Index. ForeSee surveyed over 24,000 customers between
Thanksgiving and Christmas, asking them to rate their satisfaction with
the top 100 retailers. For the second year in a row, Amazon’s score of
88 is the highest ever attained by any retailer in the study. Amazon
also announced today that 2012 was its biggest holiday ever with over
26.5 million items ordered worldwide on its peak day, which is a
record-breaking 306 items per second. Also for the second year in a row,
Amazon’s tablet was the most popular item for customers—Kindle Fire HD
continued its run as the #1 best-selling, most gifted, and most wished
for product across the millions of items available on Amazon worldwide
since its introduction 15 weeks ago.

“To achieve such high customer satisfaction scores and sustain them over
time is a remarkable feat that remains unmatched by any other
e-retailer,” Larry Freed, author of the study and president and CEO of
ForeSee, a customer experience analytics firm.

“We are grateful to customers for once again ranking us at the top of
the ForeSee customer satisfaction survey and for choosing to shop at
Amazon this holiday,” said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com.
“On behalf of Amazon employees around the world, we wish everyone happy
holidays and the very best for the coming year.”
